Pros

Well positioned in Semiconductor industry

Cons

15 years ago about 10% of the key leadership role in the company hailed from Indian background and everyone got the same opportunity on merit. Come to 2025 literally more than HALF the VPs, GM and key roles across the company are now Indian. It seems Indian executives have worked hard focusing on hiring Indians at every opportunity over last few years. Many deserving people have been overlooked in favor of an Indian when a promotion and key position opens especially when hiring manager is typically an Indian.

Pros

Salary, stock options, good benefits

Cons

Misogynistic, culturally elitist, full of unconscious bias, expectation is 24x7 and to always answer your phone outside of work hours. Vacation is "unlimited" but very frowned upon.
